sun_set_bravelyGood morning everyone. As I was pulling out the ingredients for my lunch, I felt the urge to do my first phone post. I wanted to say something about the way I know that it's raining outside before I've even opened my eyes when I wake up in the morning. I wanted to talk to you in my sleepy voice and tell you about my kamikaze knitting projects for Christmas. But for some strange reason, the Phone Post lady hangs up on me after I enter my PIN number. Is this because I just entered my phone number and PIN into the system this morning? I don't know. I'll try again another time.
I woke up at 6:30 with Travis's "As You Are" in my head. My body knew it was raining before I did, and it put on the appropriate soundtrack for my internal alarm. This makes me smile at myself, and I'll put the CD in my Discman to take me to work.
When I got out of bed, I found that my roommate and her dog were gone, probably outside in the park. It was a good moment, and I hoped against reality that she would stay gone until I left. Mornings with her are a little strange. Mostly, we stay out of each other's way, but when she gets ready to leave, she stands at the door and chats at me while I'm on the computer for a few minutes. It's hard to explain to her that I'm doing things that require a little concentration (writing e-mails, writing posts, reading your posts). It's the morning that makes me wish I lived by myself more than anything else. The fresh part of the day needs such gentle care to make sure that the rest of the day goes well.
Tonight, I go out to dinner with one of the Tea Girls, which I'm looking forward to. I haven't seen her in three weeks, and my soul needs a little Tea Girl lovin'. We'll sit inside the restaurant with the beautiful people of Fort Greene around us, and we'll laugh and talk about the good things in life.
If I didn't have to go to work today, I would not shower, and I would lounge around in my comfy robe listening to Travis and staring out the window at the people walking past the coffee shop, waiting for the bus, walking their children to school. Quietly.
